Evaluating the footage

- We've got a collection of shots…from these different lenses and different cameras…just to give you an idea of different configurations.…Now, this is not a camera comparison here,…there was different D.P.s, I shot some, Rob shot some,…some of our crew was shooting,…we also had Jim Ballout for one of these shoots,…- Yep.…- You may have caught Jim on some of our lighting episodes,…so there's different stuff here.…But let's walk through some of the good and the bad.…We have a simple interview here shot in a studio.…Now obviously there's nothing for that background…to look at, but I think one of the things that stands out…to me that seems pretty solid…is that we've got a good-lookin' subject here…and I kind of like just the overall…luminescent quality of the shot.…

- [Robbie] Yeah, I mean there's some color spill there,…some color balance, could be from the lights,…that kind of thing, but it strikes me as rather sharp,…very contrast-y, obviously the black background helps that,…but if you look at things like the ruffles of the collar…

What's one of the best parts about being a video professional? All the cool gear! Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman team up in Video Gear to discuss the latest and greatest equipment for video production and post. In this course, they discuss some of the most popular cameras for video production, like the Blackmagic URSA 4K, Sony Alpha a7, Olympus OM-D E-M1, and Canon 5D Mark III. They review high-end prime and zoom lenses, as well as more cost-effective options, filters, and adapters, and show how to get high-quality results from an iPhone or iPad. Learn the right camera and lens combinations to use in tight spaces and for specific scenarios like product shots and time-lapse video. Find out how to avoid lens flare, rack focus shots, and match footage from different cameras. At the end of the course, they host a wide-angle "shootout" that puts a couple lenses to the test. Both cost and quality are evaluated at every turn, so you'll never have to worry about blowing your budget or compromising production value.
